A pewter inlaid ebony table clock, Jonathan Lowndes, London, circa 1685

6½-inch dial signed Jonathan Lowndes in Pall Mall London with cherub spandrels, matted centre with calendar aperture and strike /not strike lever by IX, the similarly signed two train bell striking fusee movement with five knopped and ring-turned latched pillars, verge escapement with later silk suspension and numbered outside countwheel, the backplate well engraved  with foliate scrolls and tulips, the unusual case with brass carrying handle above a caddy cresting, inlaid overall with pewter foliate scrolls; repeating work removed

Jonathan Lowndes was probably born in 1656 as it is recorded he was married in September 1679, at the age of 23, in St.Martins in the Fields, London. He took a number of apprentices and he had premises at The Dial in Pall Mall. There are no records of him after 1702 so that is likely to be the year of his death.
